in the 31 years i was in medical practice in johnson city, tennessee, a small town in northeast tennessee, our group had delivered over 25,000 babies. 25,000 children. i see these children now as doctors and lawyers and teachers and sunday school teachers and soccer coaches and housewives, farmers, you name it. bettering our community. i cannot imagine my community without these young people there. they are the future of this great nation. and i've seen this, as dr. harris mentioned, i saw when ultrasound went from when it was just a blob you saw to being able to visionize a heart beat 28 days or less postconception. it's unbelievable to be able to see that and to see this child develop is something that i can't explain to you how fulfilling that is, to be able to see that happen and to have a choice. that is a law we have to get right in this country. and thank goodness minds are changing. . i look around this great room, this great chamber and wonder if choices would be different and members of congress might not be here if a different choice had been made. we have a duty to those who d

there's a new plant opening up in tennessee to provide as many as they can sell. the question is what's the demand? a lot of the new vehicles that are coming from auto makers such as chrysler and toyota and honda are going to be limited to california only. they're there mainly to meet requirements and pollution control officials who want a certain percentage met in those states. jords wise, the demand is still questionable. really the only auto maker is trying to make a mass market is tess la. they're not quite there yet. hybrids are about 3% of the market. and sales have been fairly steady. they're not expected to be that much of an increase because the industry has been able to make fuel saving technology on conventional cars come close to matching the performance at a much lower cost so there's still this math that goes into buying a hybrid versus a regular powered vehicle. the typical saying is the first time we hit $4 a gallon nationally which summer which i'm sure will happen you'll see hybrid sales go back up. >> what's the future of stock owned by the fede
